Description
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is a non-governmental organisation founded in 1992 to pursue the work of the International Non-Ionizing Radiation Committee (INIRC) of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA). Since then, it has drafted and disseminated scientific recommendations for the establishment of exposure limit values for electromagnetic fields for the general public and for workers. The conclusions of its work are adopted in European countries' regulations as such or with additional precautionary measures. In 2020, ICNIRP published its new guidelines for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields in the 100 kHz to 300 GHz range. The goal of this technical note is to explain the principle for determining reference values, as described in this update. (authors)
Abstract (French)
La Commission internationale de protection contre les rayonnements non ionisants (ICNIRP) est une organisation non gouvernementale creee en 1992, afin de poursuivre les travaux du Comite international des rayonnements non ionisants (INIRC) de l'Association internationale de radioprotection (IRPA). Depuis lors, elle elabore et diffuse des recommandations scientifiques pour l'etablissement de valeurs limites d'exposition aux champs electromagnetiques pour le grand public et les travailleurs. Les conclusions de ses travaux sont reprises dans les reglementations des pays europeens, telles quelles ou avec des marges de precaution supplementaires. L'ICNIRP a publie en 2020 ses nouvelles lignes directrices pour la limitation de l'exposition aux champs electromagnetiques de 100 kHz a 300 GHz. Le but de cette note technique est d'expliquer le principe de la determination des valeurs de reference, tel que detaille dans cette mise a jour. (auteurs)Additional details
